Megan Thee Stallion has declined a collaboration offer with the popular video game franchise Call of Duty due to her mental health struggles. Reports indicate that her PTSD diagnosis, stemming from a traumatic incident involving Tory Lanez, largely influenced her decision.
Megan’s Decision Against Call of Duty Collaboration
During a recent court testimony on November 19, Daniel Kinney, Roc Nation’s Senior VP of Branding & Strategic Partnerships, discussed the reasons behind Megan’s choice. Kinney stated that Megan opted out of the offer upon learning she would become a “shootable character” in the game.
Triggering Experience and Mental Health
According to journalist Meghann Cuniff, Kinney noted that the collaboration offer triggered Megan’s traumatic experiences. He reported that she firmly stated, “I’m not doing this.” This highlights the significant impact of her PTSD on her professional opportunities.
Megan’s Recovery Journey
Since the shooting incident in 2020, Megan sought intensive treatment for her mental health. She entered a Dialectical Behavior Therapy program to help process her trauma, which reportedly cost around $240,000. Her doctors have officially diagnosed her with PTSD, with Dr. Lenore Walker being the attending physician.
Legal Battles and Defamation Case
Megan is currently involved in a defamation lawsuit against blogger Milagro Gramz. She claims that Gramz publicized false information about her, contributing to a “campaign of harassment and cyberbullying” related to Lanez’s conviction for shooting her.
- Lanez and his attorney were recently held in contempt of court.
- They were fined $20,000 after refusing to answer questions during a deposition.
- Lanez expressed that he did not care about potential sanctions due to his financial status.
These legal challenges continue to intertwine with Megan’s journey toward healing and self-advocacy. As her case progresses, the effects of her past experiences remain at the forefront of her professional and personal life.
